A sick hand occurred when Ryan Daut and Isaac Haxton clashed heads-up at the final table of the 2007 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. After finding himself 3:1 down in chips at one point, Daut fought valiantly to turn things around and when this hand unfolded, he found himself with a 2:1 lead himself.
Daut limped in for 100,000 chips holding the lowly hand of 7c 5s. Haxton's holding was even worse than his opponents, three-two of diamonds, so he checked his big blind. The flop of Qh 4h Ac hit neither player but when Haxton checked, Daut wasted no time in firing out a bet of 300,000 a bet that was quickly called. Both players slowed down and checked the arrival of the king of diamonds on the turn but when the queen of clubs was dealt on the river, all hell broke loose!
Haxton lead out for 700,000 which seemed to unsettle Daut who paused for a for a short while before announcing he was raising the action to 2m chips! Haxton, sat with his head on the table at one point, somehow reads Daut for weakness and moves all-in with one of the worst hands in Texas Hold'em. There is no way Daut can call with his seven high and when he inevitably folds, Haxton scoops a huge pot.
